New Jerr-dan Battery Truck!

New Jerr-dan Battery Truck!

The prototype unit displayed is SOLD, but you can contact your Jerr-dan dealer locally to get get yours on order today.

In order to accomidate customers running the AAA battery program or other customers running similar programs, Summit, A/W Direct & Jerr-dan teamed up to
build you a very versitle unit.
The unit displayed has optional Tool Drawers, Battery slide out drawers, Jumper Unit, Rotation Tools, Dollies (underbody bunks available), Light bar Package,
Air Compressor with portable tank, trash cans with storage brackets, and much much more.....

Looks like a really well equipped service truck with the capability to tow if needed.
I would have to relocate the dollies to a more manageable spot (underbody bunk option), as an employer it looks like a L& I claim to me due to trip, slip
& overall awkwardness on top of the deck accessing them.

Thanks for the Confidence Tim!
Orcas, our next editions will come with Underbody bunks! We had a time constraint to get this to a show from inception.
DJ, the Jerr-dan lift is 1 year, the Summit body has a 5 year warranty on Paint, Wiring and body structure.

The truck is designed to carry one days's worth of batteries for the AAA battery program. In our study, the average AAA battery service provider was
carrying 30 batteries (per vehicle) and would rarely have to replentish stock in a days shift. The slide out trays will accomidate all they typical batteries
and sizes for the provider.
The next edition, the slide out trays will be side by side. Also we will have a pull out drawer for the truck bed area. A backup camera will also be added as a
recomended option.

The Summit warranty sounds great, not too impressed with the Jerr-Dan warranty. Too bad, looks like it could have worked for us. Maybe Jerr-Dan doesn't
have confidence in their lifts. Thanks for the info.

Put the dollies on the slide outs for the batteries and put a winch on the front bumper = one hell of truck.

I am not sure if they still honor this but Jerr-Dan will extend thier warranty an additional year for a AAA contractor.

I have to say, I really like it. It looks sharp!! My personal touches would include 4 wheel drive and a front mounted winch.

Nice set up in 03 i built a one off service truck with a rear wheel lift it carrys most everything this truck is equipped with, like some of the other guys
building a small unit minus the wheel lift would seem a little more pratical. I just bought a Chevy Colorado for this sole purpose and we are upfitting it has
we speak. Any idea on cost. These pics are prior to the wheel lift, i also installed a back up camera system which i can tell you for a fact these type of
trucks must have in order to see what your hooking up in the rear... FYI.

Looks great Jerry. A few of my local AAA/battery truck people have already expressed interest in the unit. DJ, you have had a few of the HPL35 underlifts, so
you know the quality & on top of that, a 1 year warranty is an industry standard.

My guys & I talked about this set up a year ago. AAA wants us to do the program and I said if Jerr-Dan would sell us a HPL35 wheel lift for the unit it
would be great. It could be a very versatile unit and I like the craftsmanship.

Townomoe, Jerr-Dan doesn't honor the 2nd year warranty on the wreckers, only the flatbeds as I have unfortunetly found out. And the 2nd year on the flatbed
was discontinued in'08 since AAA now is back with Miller Industries.

Arnott, as for Industry Standards, it's more than time to up the standard to at least 3 years with an option for at least 1 or 2 more. Our company is
constantly resetting industry standards in our area. A 1 year warranty shows no confidence in your product, especially for a company that makes EVERYTHING in
house. Maybe someone besides myself should tell Mr. Walter that this would be a good move for them. I bet there isn't one company buying trucks out there
that wouldn't like to see a longer warranty on equipment they are spending their hard earned money on. When you are spending close to 05 grand for a fully
dressed out light duty truck, there should be a nice long warranty. 3 years is fair unless it is abused. If it is abused, that should void the warranty.
It's not that difficult to discern between abuse and defective parts or workmanship.
